Official Journal C 105 , 03/04/1997 P. 0028 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2852/96 by Hiltrud Breyer (V) to the Council (23 October 1996)Subject: Nuclear industry in the Slovak RepublicHow does the Council regard the fact that no solution - in terms of funding, choice of location, technology and state of the art - has been found for the short or the long term to the problem of nuclear waste, given that this problem is beyond the technical and financial resources of the Slovak Republic?Joint reply to Written Questions E-2846/96, E-2848/96, E-2850/96, E-2852/96 and E-2854/96 (13 February 1997)1. The Council attaches the greatest importance to the protection of the environment against the dangers of ionizing radiation. Article 80, concerning nuclear safety, of the Europe Agreement establishing the Association with the Slovak Republic stipulates that the aim of the cooperation is to provide for a safer use of nuclear energy. This aspect of cooperation covers several of the areas to which the Honourable Member refers and includes the exchange of information and experience and research and development activities.2. The Honourable Member might also note that at the last Association Council meeting with the Slovak Republic the Community side stressed the importance of energy and, in particular, nuclear safety, for Slovakia and its role in the country's preparation for accession. The Community is strongly committed to a high level of safety in nuclear power stations and to close cooperation to achieve this. The Community stresses the need to ensure that Slovak nuclear power stations that do not conform to internationally recognized safety guidelines are shut down as soon as possible.3. It should also be noted that the Slovak republic has acceded to the IAEA Convention (Vienna) on nuclear safety principles and has thereby subscribed to the safety requirements laid down by that Convention.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2846/96 by Hiltrud Breyer (V) to the Council (23 October 1996)Subject: Nuclear industry in the Slovak RepublicIn the second half of the year the Slovak Republic (SR) has taken out loans (e.g. $ 150 million from a consortium of 27 foreign banks arranged by J.P. Morgan) in addition to the loans granted by the Bank for Reconstruction and the Société Général in Paris.How great is the risk that the loans will not be repaid by the due date, for example because - in contrast to the previous year - the Slovak electricity industry (or, as the case may be, the SR) already has a balance of payment deficit of SK 27 billion in the first half of 1996?Joint reply to Written Questions E-2846/96, E-2848/96, E-2850/96, E-2852/96 and E-2854/96 (13 February 1997)1.

By what percentage are the additional costs for the reconstruction of Bohunice and the completion and retrofitting of Mochovce likely to exceed the costs as originally estimated?2.
